- the laser beam 62 is guided within the further optical element 82, which may be formed in particular as an injection molded part, in the direction of the optical deflection unit 16. Due to the fact that the optical deflection unit 16 is formed by the optical injection molded component 22 and the coating 36 on the surface 46 is transparent to the laser beams 62, the laser beam 62 experiences no at the transition between the optical injection molded component 22 and the further optical element 82 Deflection.
- the laser beam 62 extends within the deflection unit
- This reflected laser beam 62 is used as the target marker 86 and / or reference marker for sighting the target 64, with the target marker 86 being visible to the operator as a visible, such as a red spot and / or spot.
- This target mark 86 along with an imaging beam 88 of a targeted point of the measuring object 64, is directed along the axis 78 toward the fourth surface 46 formed by the reflecting surface 52, the imaging beam 88 being coupled into the optical deflecting unit 16 by the converging lens 24 ,

- Deflection unit 16 is mounted with the further optical element 82 and / or the radiation source 60 to a unit 94.
- an adjustment of the target optics device 10 takes place in that the optical deflection unit 16 and the further optical element 82 and / or the radiation source 60 are matched to one another.

- the radiation source 60a is in this case formed by a laser diode.
- the radiation is formed by a laser beam 62a, which has both the function of a laser beam 100a designed for a distance measurement and the function of a target mark 86a for sighting the test object 64a.
- the objective optical device 10a has an optical deflection unit 16a formed by a pentaprism 20a, which has at least one coating 38a formed by at least partially a transmission reflection layer 90a.
- This coating 38a is arranged on a fourth surface 46a of the optical deflection unit 16a facing the radiation source 60a. Through this coating 38a, a portion of the laser light is filtered out, so that the laser beam 62a penetrates with reduced intensity in the optical deflection unit 16a.
- This reduced intensity of the laser beam 62a allows the use of a conventional laser source as the radiation source 60a, without fear of operator harm in viewing the target mark 86a.
- a portion of the laser beam 62a extending along an axis 78a in the direction of a first optical lens element 18a formed by a condenser lens 24a is deflected by a coating 32a on a first surface 40a of the deflector 16a partially toward the fourth surface 46a of the optical deflector 16a Substantially reflected along the axis 78a, wherein the coating 32a has both a transmission property and a reflection property, so that a partial beam of the laser beam 62a leaves the deflection unit 16a through the converging lens 24a and a partial beam of La serstrahls 62a is reflected on the coating 32a.
- This reflected portion of the laser beam 62a is used as the target mark 86a and / or reference mark for sighting the measuring object 64a.
